From politicians to coaches to academics to television executives, the NCAA's next executive director will encounter a varied and demanding constituency, officials say.

''There are so many gaps,'' said Old Dominion assistant athletic director Mikki Flowers, a former NCAA Council member. ''Not only the gap between athletic directors and university presidents, but also the gaps between the NCAA and Congress, the corporate sponsors, and the TV networks. And you have the gaps between Division I, II and III.

''It takes a real politically savvy person. Dick Schultz handled those things very, very well in as open a manner as we've ever seen.''
